Could be the best division. The commish likes one player in particular to be a fantasy breakout in 2013...check out what he thinks!
2013 NFL Preview: NFC West
With training camps about to begin, we take a division-by-division look at where each team stands heading into the 2013 season.
One way or another, be it San Francisco or Seattle, the NFC West will be a favorite when the experts make their Super Bowl picks in August. The 49ers nearly pulled off an epic, post-blackout comeback in last year's Super Bowl against Baltimore; the Seahawks would have been in the NFC title game, had they not allowed two 20-yard passes from Matt Ryan to set up a field goal late the week prior.
The West could be a three-playoff-bid division in 2013, too, if the Rams continue to build on last year's momentum. The sky is brighter even in Arizona, with a new QB and coaching staff.
Week to week, there may not be a more compelling division race than the one that unfolds right here.
Arizona Cardinals
Key moves: Signed RB Rashard Mendenhall, DE Frostee Rucker, DE Matt Shaughnessy, OLB Lorenzo Alexander, LB Jasper Brinkley, LB Karlos Dansby, CB Antoine Cason, CB Jerraud Powers, S Yeremiah Bell; traded for QB Carson Palmer, CB Javier Arenas; drafted RB Stepfan Taylor, WR Ryan Swope, G Jonathan Cooper, LB Kevin Minter, OLB Alex Okafor, S Tyrann Mathieu; lost QB Kevin Kolb, QB John Skelton, RB Beanie Wells, WR Early Doucet, G Adam Snyder, LB Paris Lenon, CB William Gay, CB Greg Toler, S Adrian Wilson, S Kerry Rhodes; hired head coach Bruce Arians, OC Harold Goodwin; DC Todd Bowles
Where they got better: Quarterback. Carson Palmer has just a 12-28 record over his last three seasons as a starting QB but, if nothing else, he appears to be a good fit for the vertical-passing game of new head coach Bruce Arians. Palmer also cannot be much worse than Arizona's 2013 whack-a-mole QB situation, which saw Kevin Kolb, John Skelton, Ryan Lindley and Brian Hoyer all pop into the lineup at various stages. Palmer can still wing it, at age 33, and he has the veteran experience that quartet did not. The Cardinals also upgraded their depth at the quarterback spot by signing athletic backup Drew Stanton. The ex-Lion and Colt (and, very briefly, Jet) has not played in the regular season since 2010, but he was 2-2 as a starter for Detroit.
Where they got worse: The secondary. Opposing teams often ran roughshod over the Cardinals' run defense, so they did not need to pass all that much. Still, Arizona finished fifth in pass defense last season and picked off more passes than every team other than Chicago. Can they repeat that success minus William Gay, Greg Toler, Adrian Wilson and Kerry Rhodes? That's a daunting task, even if No. 1 cornerback Patrick Peterson is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowls in his first two years. The Cardinals stemmed the tide a bit by signing CBs Antoine Cason and Jerraud Powers. They also added ex-Dolphin Yeremiah Bell at safety, then drafted the "Honey Badger," Tyrann Mathieu. There is talent, but the losses will be tough to overcome.
Breakout player: Rob Housler, TE. Housler trended upward last season, going from 12 catches in his rookie year to 45. He should see another increase in 2013, even more so if the Cardinals again fail to find Larry Fitzgerald a complementary WR. Housler can work in all levels as a pass catcher, and he might be one of Palmer's favorite targets.
Where they stand: Everything seems to be headed in the right direction, finally. What will that mean in terms of results this season? Maybe not all that much. The Cardinals have the misfortune of having to play San Francisco, Seattle and St. Louis a combined six times — with 0-6 there a distinct possibility (they went 1-5 within the division last season). Baby steps here.
San Francisco 49ers
Key moves: Signed DT Glenn Dorsey, CB Nnamdi Asomugha, S Craig Dahl; traded for WR Anquan Boldin, QB Colt McCoy; drafted RB Marcus Lattimore, WR Quinton Patton, TE Vance McDonald, DE Tank Carradine, DE/OLB Corey Lemonier; S Eric Reid; lost QB Alex Smith, WR Randy Moss, FB/TE Delanie Walker, NT Isaac Sopoaga, S Dashon Goldson
Where they got better: The pass rush. Wide receiver would have been the pick here, with Quinton Patton and Anquan Boldin arriving, but Michael Crabtree's Achilles injury set that unit back. So, it's the DE/OLB spots in the spotlight. The 49ers finished 11th in the league last season with 38 sacks, and they return an elite group in Justin Smith, Aldon Smith and others. What they did not have in 2012 was a ton of depth at DE or OLB. In drafting explosive athletes Tank Carradine and Corey Lemonier, San Francisco solved that problem. Plus, the 49ers rolled the dice on Glenn Dorsey, who gives them an extra usable body along the interior of their D-line.
Where they got worse: Safety. First-team All-Pro Dashon Goldson may have been slightly overrated last season, but he leaves behind big shoes to fill for rookie Eric Reid and backup Craig Dahl. Reid should claim the starting job Goldson vacated, alongside Donte Whitner. Goldson had 69 tackles, three interceptions and 11 pass break-ups from that spot last season. The bar will need to be lower for Reid, who's a promising and hard-working prospect, but one who struggled in pass coverage and as a tackler at times during his LSU days. Dahl is a decent safety net, but he's no Goldson.
Breakout player: LaMichael James, RB. James had just 27 carries during the 2012 regular season and another 11 in the postseason. He only broke one of those for longer than 30 yards and found the end zone just once, too. But he showed enough explosiveness so that San Francisco should want the ball in his hands — especially in a creative offense led by a mobile QB.
Where they stand: The 49ers did not come within a play of winning the Super Bowl by accident. This team is loaded, and it took off to another level once Colin Kaepernick inherited the QB role. They should run near the top of the NFC West division again this season, with a chance to go all the way. The lingering mystery right now: Will Crabtree's injury, and resulting multi-week absence, tip the division scales in Seattle's favor?
Seattle Seahawks
Key moves: Signed QB Brady Quinn, QB Tarvaris Jackson, DE Cliff Avril, DE Michael Bennett, DT Tony McDaniel, CB Antoine Winfield; traded for WR Percy Harvin; drafted RB Christine Michael, WR Chris Harper, DT Jordan Hill, DT Jesse Williams; lost QB Matt Flynn, RB/KR Leon Washington, DT Alan Branch, DT/DE Jason Jones, OLB Leroy Hill
Where they got better: Wide receiver. Drop the mic and walk away. The Seahawks paid a pretty penny, including their 2013 first-round pick, for Percy Harvin. He will be worth it, provided he can put his recent injury history behind him. Few players in the league are capable of changing a game like Harvin, who sure feels like the piece Seattle was missing. Rookie Chris Harper could be one to watch eventually, as well. He's a physical receiver who will make catches in traffic and might battle for playing time as the year progresses.
Where they got worse: Outside linebacker, if anywhere. The Seahawks did not lose many contributors off their 2012 team, and where they did — like at defensive tackle, with Alan Branch — quickly replaced those parts with multiple options. But at outside linebacker, they need third-year player Malcolm Smith, he of three career starts and 22 tackles in 2012, to take over for Leroy Hill, a starter in Seattle since 2005. Hill hit free agency this offseason, then was arrested for an alleged domestic violence incident. Seattle could mix and match here, with guys like Bruce Irvin or Mike Morgan. It's one of the few spots, though, where the answer is not obvious.
Breakout player: Christine Michael, RB. The path to playing time has one big hurdle in it, in the form of Marshawn Lynch. That said, Michael very well might knock Robert Turbin from the backup role, giving him some looks — Turbin had 80 carries from that spot last year.
Where they stand: Seattle and San Francisco are 1 and 1a in this division. The two dates to circle are Sept. 15, when the 49ers visit Seattle; and Dec. 8, when the Seahawks make the return trip to San Francisco. Those games could decide the division. And if Seattle somehow can come up with home-field advantage in the playoffs, the 12th Man might be enough to push them all the way through to the Super Bowl.
St. Louis Rams
Key moves: Signed TE Jared Cook, OT Jake Long; drafted RB Zac Stacy, WR Tavon Austin, WR Stedman Bailey, OL Barrett Jones, OLB Alec Ogletree, S T.J. McDonald; lost RB Steven Jackson, WR Danny Amendola, WR Brandon Gibson, LB Rocky McIntosh, CB Bradley Fletcher, S Craig Dahl, S Quintin Mikell
Where they got better: On offense. Pretty sweeping review, that, but it's the truth, even with Steven Jackson and Danny Amendola out. The Rams finished 7-8-1 last year and went 2-1-1 against San Francisco and Seattle, despite an offense that finished 25th. So, they upgraded pretty much everywhere, with former Pro Bowler Jake Long in at left tackle, the high-upside Jared Cook at TE, college teammates Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey joining the receiving corps and Zac Stacy helping to replace Jackson at running back. There really are no excuses left for QB Sam Bradford now. Either he takes advantage of all his new toys and plays like the Rams expected him to after taking him No. 1 overall in 2010 or this reworked offense could have a new passer next season.
Where they got worse: Safety. Another NFC West team with potential issues in the deep secondary. St. Louis received 16 starts from Craig Dahl last season and 15 from Quintin Mikell. Both have moved on now, dropping the onus on 2011 starter Darian Stewart (who's yet to play a full NFL season) and third-round pick T.J. McDonald. St. Louis may be looking for another choice as we speak, because it cannot feel too confident about a Stewart-McDonald combo for Week 1, in a division where the top two teams run intricate offenses that put pressure on opposing safeties.
Breakout player: Alec Ogletree, LB. Off-field incidents, including a pre-combine DUI arrest, drove Ogletree down the draft board. St. Louis may have landed a Defensive Rookie of the Year contender at No. 30, as a result. Ogletree will start at one of the Rams' outside linebacker spots and, with a strong line in front of him, will be free to utilize his quickness all over the field.
Where they stand: Were it not for an 0-4-1 stretch in the middle of last season, the Rams might have been in the wild-card mix. The 49ers and Seahawks definitely would be making a mistake to overlook this team in the division this year. Does that mean that St. Louis can sneak in and steal the NFC West? Probably not — at least, not until 2014. But the Rams will be very competitive and should stay in the postseason race until the latter stages of the season.
Could be the best division. The commish likes one player in particular to be a fantasy breakout in 2013...check out what he thinks!
I am not a Hawks fan to much, but I there is nothing I like to see better than Wilson sticking it to all those teams that passed him over because he was a couple inches to short.. Cleveland? Not once, twice but three times passed him over....lol
49ers who else??
Two of the best teams in the NFL an up and coming team in the Rams and a 6 or 7 win team in Arizona. A pretty damn good division.
RU serious? its freekin July and ur writing about football?? who cares?
Sorry, but NFC West / Worst is a total JOKE... top 2 teams Overachieved / were lucky and are due to settle, and the Lambs & Cardinals are Utterly Lame...
As long as Seattle continues to use the stolen moniker "Home of the 12th Man," they'll be cursed and doomed to failure. Teams that create their own identity carry the positive Mojo - they should be proud of their energy and forge their own niche.
They also have to battle the embarrassment of wearing the ugliest uni's in the league. I know it may be small-potatoes, but imagine you're standing at midfield for the coin-flip against a team like the Niners, who all decked out in a real uniform You're standing there looking like a fool in something that the cheerleaders should be wearing.,,it's gotta make you feel a little silly.
Cincinnati anyone?
As long as the NFL continues to ignore PEDs and other "enhancements" the Seahawks should do okay. Every Carrol led team has built its success on bending and breaking rules. Once the league gets tired of his antics he'll be through there as well.
I am a fan of the NFL. Knowledge yes, genius no. But I still cannot understand all the greatness heaped on Percy Harvin. I see a very good player WHEN healthy. that is all and that WHEN part is a big question mark.
Rookie receivers are known for their great production.
Excuses?I guess you don't watch a lot of Rams games.
Do you get the feeling that if SF doesn't win it all in the next year or two, all that intensity of Harbaugh's will have worn a little thin?
@MikeHiggins You do apparently.
@PaulSharpe Sorry, but you seem to have wandered from the soccer pages to the NFL. The Cards will surprise quite a few teams this year, and how can you say the Seahawks over-achieved last season? They had the top scoring defense and one of the top offenses over the second half of last season. You are living in the past...
@PaulSharpePaul - I have got to disagree. While I am no fan of the 49ers or Seahawks, both teams appear to be top 5 in the NFL. The Seahawks DID get lucky vs. the Packers with that offensive pass interference call against Golden Tate that should have been called, but the Seahawks are a very good team. The 49ers appear to be the best team in the NFC. Both of these teams have legitimate Super Bowl aspirations for the coming season. The Rams are improving. The Cardinals need to improve. Clearly, the NFC West is NOT a total joke.
@couch68 couch 68 - i agree 100%. "Home of the 12th Man" belongs to the Texas A&M Aggies. Stealing someone else's moniker is just pathetic. The Chicago Bears have done the same thing with "Bear Down". They already have "Monsters of the Midway", "Da Bears" and are the originators of the 4-6 Defense. So what do they do, they STEAL the "Bear Down" moniker from the University of Arizona. University of Arizona - Bear Down began in 1926. Chicago - 1941. A google search, so simple even a Bears' fan could do it would prove this in less than 5 minutes. Those who steal other teams' monikers are just wrong.
Worst of Luck to the Seattle Seahawks in 2013.
@CliveOwen You're saying all 31 other teams are completely clean? Notice how nobody out there is saying anything except Harbaugh? That's because you don't throw stones when you live in a glass house.....as Harbaugh will soon find out.
@RayHuggyBearYoung He missed three games over his first three seasons and then hurt his ankle last year, yet people act like he's never on the field. I still don't understand this argument.
@RayHuggyBearYoung Last year, he was not just good, he was the best player in the league before he got hurt. The year before that, he piled up 1,000 receiving yards, and after Peterson got hurt, moved to running back and rushed for 345 yards on 6.6 yards per carry. And as if that wasn't enough, he was also the best return man that year leading the league in kick return average. Add in he was 23 years old when that happened and it should be plain to see why many consider him the ultimate weapon. Thats why Peterson was so angry when he was traded.
@Rickapolis Nope, because his intensity is the kind players understand and respect. He is really coaching, not contriving an image of it. His teams improve and get solid, and he hasn't had anything in coaching handed to him. What he did at Stanford was practically a miracle, and his revival of the 9ers may not be miraculous, but it's amazing.
@Rickapolis I'm betting if success doesn't continue Jimmy will dissolve in his own gastric juices and then implode. He's the type that always has to have an enemy either real or imagined. That's why his press conferences are so antagonistic. It's Jimmy against the world.
No question. Just like Rex Ryan, who is now a joke. He made it to two straight Conference Championship games just like Harbarugh...think about it
@John4 @PaulSharpe Seattle didn't get lucky against the Packers it was the correct call. And no matter who won or lost that game, playoff seeding would not have changed at the end of the season for either team. Do any of you do ANY actual research before trolling? Obviously not. And when was the last time you EVER saw offensive PI called on a Hail Mary? Are you all sure you actually watch football? I'm thinking no.
@John4 @couch68 Come on...Texas A&M "stole" it from Iowa, and some reports say they "stole" it from UW. Some young fans mistakenly believe Seattle started to use the 12th Man recently, but it has been throughout their existence. They retired No. 12 and were calling their fans the 12th Man long before A&M got their ill-advised trademark.
@John4 if anyone cared enough or ur aggies were so popular then Seattle wouldn't have been able to steal ur "moniker", i mean slogan lol. FIRST TEAM TO RETIRE THE NUMBER 12 JERSEY! have fun watching ur Dalllas Quearrboys or Houston Texans......or maybe ur a bandwagon fan? lol
@ John4. What a whiny, ignorant hater. You don't try to hide your pathetic anger and hostility towards the Seahawks. And as far as Seattle "stealing" the 12th Man slogan, why don't YOU do some research before slamming others? The U of Iowa was the first to use it in 1912. Telling people how easy it is to search on google? Good advice. Try it some time. Total fail. BTW you didn't want to be such tool, but somehow you ended up looking a complete one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12th_man_(football)
@nortran11 @CliveOwen The 49ers were popped too with Larry Grant testing positive, but that doesn't seem to matter because he wasn't on the team any more. People also seem to ignore that two of Seattle's infractions were from players that were never part of their 53-man roster and one tested positive before he was a Seahawk.
@donniejohnson4@RayHuggyBearYoungactually Harvin has never had a 1000 yds receiving in a season or 10+ tds in a season.
@mike.russell @Rickapolis I am interested to see what happens in SF when all those players start to retire. He was pretty much handed an all star roster from the past regime, he just got the most from them.
@John4 @HankMoses Nobody is saying it wasn't a PI...what they are saying is the NFL doesn't call PI on hail Mary's. One of the Seahawks was pushed on the play, too. It's just what happens.
@HankMoses @John4 @PaulSharpe Offensive pass interference, last year. It cost the Ravens a game last year against the Eagles.
@HankMoses Hank - the only way you think it was not offensive PI is if you don't understand the penalty, did not see the game, or are just a fan of the Seahawks, and does not care about reality. Also, to say it hasn't been called, and therefore should have been called on Golden Tate makes no sense.
@TC206 TC206 - I'm not sure as I don't understand your comment. It comes across as too idiotic to understand. Was that something you were trying to do, or is it just the way you communicate?
@HankMoses Hank - you are the poster of the day. Thank you for imparting some of your valuable knowledge. That was very cool of you.
@couch68 Why are you so hung up on the specifics of "Home of the 12th Man." Seattle has never used that line, but we have, and continue to, use 12th Man. Seattle has the legal right to do so-with the blessing of A&M...mostly because they didn't want a legal challenge to a trademark they shouldn't have been given.
@couch68 @HankMoses @Matthew10 @John4 I love how the Seahawks have been using that term since the mid 80's...and quite publicly I might add....but A&M only has a problem with it when we reached the Super Bowl in 05. The only one that really looks foolish is Couch for getting so bent out of shape over something so stupid.
@HankMoses @couch68 @Matthew10 @John4
I like how the idiots of the world reply to something someone posts, in order to tell them that no one cares what they think.
A&M may not have been the first to use it, but they've pretty much been the sole proprietors of the term for SEVERAL decades - at one point they even trademarked it, but I'm not sure when (that's why you can't legally produce anything Seahawks related that says Home of the 12th Man...they can only use the number 12.)
I took a tour of the stadium a few years ago and the tour guide made several derogatory comments about A&M. At one point she argued with me when I mentioned that they weren't legally allowed to profit from the 12th man thing while we were standing outside the pro-shop - I dared her to go inside and find ANYTHING that said Home of the 12th Man, and she just blew it off by saying the A&M had their "panties in a wad" and that the trademark infringement lawsuit (cease and desist) was frivolous.
Seattle just looks foolish for stealing the term - they could have come up with something original that they owned.
@HankMoses @couch68 @Matthew10 @John4 It's a non issue. It's all about what you do on the field.
@couch68 @Matthew10 @John4 nobody needs or wants the respect of morons. You lost respect for Seattle? Oh no, what are we going to do now that you've lost respect for the Seahawks? boo hoo... oh yeah, nobody cares what you think. BTW A&M was not the first to use it but nice try, hater.
@Matthew10 @John4 @couch68
Definition of moniker = nickname. Perhaps slogan would have been a better term, but nickname kind of fits.
Regardless, I still can't get over how they blatantly stole a slogan - a VERY well-known and historic one at that! I always thought what they had going on up there was REALLY cool, but I've lost respect for them (not that they really care what I think, but what the heck.)
@Matthew10 I suppose I could have corrected couch and said I think he should have used "slogan" but did not want to be such a tool. You filled that role nicely. Well done.
@Gio1 @donniejohnson4 @RayHuggyBearYoung Yes...he only had 967. Just terrible...

We just purchased a home that has a Carrier Infinity system. We were in the house yesterday and the thermostat read 80 degrees, although it did not feel quite that warm in the house. I manually set the temp to 74 degrees and even though I could hear the fan running and air blowing, the house did not cool off significantly several hours later. I stuck a dial thermometer in the air vent and it read 72 degrees. Should the temp of the conditioned air been lower? I realize that there are many variables and that no one can give me a definitive answer, but I just wanted to ask what things I can check out before calling an HVAC tech. I do know that I have to change the filter (during the inspection, the inspector told me that, but he was unable to test the ac system because the outdoor temp was low at the time). All other systems in the house have clearly been well maintained and the sellers said that the ac system was working properly last summer.
Any suggestions?

Orlando >Food & Dining > Shari Sushi Lounge
621 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL | Directions 3280128.542340 -81.369222
Sunday-Wednesday, 5-10pm
Thursday-Saturday, 5-11pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast, South Eola
Provided by CityGrid
5-7pm daily - $4.25 choice of 23 rolls, select sushi, beer, wine, sake and cocktails
bad first impression – I've always enjoyed eating here but the servers need to learn how to hold their tongue if they're going to make a rude comment in front of customers. I could understand why they get upset because the restaurant gets busy but I'm a server who works in a bar that is twice as busy and I have never been rude to my own customers.
Citysearch Editorial Review – Urbanites and the after work crowd find pleasure in dunking huge portions of rolled delights filled with seafood, veggies, tempura or cream cheese in soy sauce at this bi-level restaurant in Downtown Orlando. The décor adds to the ambiance with its cozy white contemporary furnishings, posh couches and high-back booths and multi-colored acrylic paintings adorning the walls. Mosey on up to the sushi bar and order sake and take notes from the masters while watching chefs prepare nigiri, sashimi or makimono selections. Don't forget to save room for dessert. The banana egg roll is to die for.
Best Sushi in Orlando!!! – Best sushi in Orlando by far! The volcano roll is my personal favorite and you can't beat the happy hour price. I eat here all the time. My husband and I love it!
If you want real sushi then don't go here – This place is way to americanized. The sushi was not bad but I sat at the bar and still had to order from the waiter, the waiter did not know what Hamachi was. I ordered Hamachi and he said he did not have any, I then asked if he had yellowtail and he said yes. The sushi was a little warm when if arrived, and it was just to frui frui. It was not bad it just was not great.
Best Sushi I've Had in Orlando – I went to Shari just last Friday with one of my girlfriends for lunch. Very friendly service, the BEST sushi I have had so far in Orlando...and I've eaten a lot of sushi at a lot of different places! I love the atmosphere: very hip, mod and trendy. The sushi rolls were excellent. We got the Coco Roll, Dragon Roll and Eel roll to name a few. The fish was super fresh. You get what you pay for. I am definitely taking my man here for Valentine's Day!
When it is Good, It's great!! – Shari can be h#t or miss!!!! The Toro Tartar is highly recommended, and if Toro is not available ask for it with regular tuna, it is amazing. I have enjoyed some of the freshest fish at Shari but on other occasions I received some stinky white tuna (not so fresh!!!!). The service and fish really does vary from day to day but I always end up going back. Seating can be a bit odd and the booths upstairs are much more comfortable for 2 rather than 4. The complimentary house appetizer is wonderful!
Best Sushi Restaurant hands down. No question. – I'm hesitant to give this place such a high rating - simply because I'm selfish and don't necessarily want everyone to find out about it! I have traveled all over the world and been to a lot of great sushi places - but this one is the best hands down. The staff is wonderful, the sushi is incredible, and the ambience is one of a kind. When you go, take advantage of the experienced wait staff and let them recommend dishes based on your taste. I don't see how anyone could write a bad review of this place - I'm skeptical of those that did because I have been going toShari for the last 3 years and have not had ONE even remotely unpleasant experience!
Gummy Rice, Bland Sushi – After puzzling over the choice of chairs that were more an exercise in visual design than comfortable seating, the appetizers started the meal off on a positive foot. But, when the Sushi came, the experience was all downhill from there. I've heard the quality at Shari is fairly variable, but I didn't imagine it would vary this far towards the dismal gustatory experience it turned out to be. Unless you like your Sushi bland (read: tasteless), this isn't the place to come.
Most people don't realize that the Sushi rice is hard to make. And the night I went, the consistency was way off into the gummy spectrum, and I think largely responsible for the blandness of the food. A real Sushi chef knows that if you can't make the rice, you have no business making the Sushi. The only roll that had any taste was wrapped in a huge chunk of avocado and tasted just like that: avocado. Sushi is an exercise in complementary tastes; overwhelming a roll with any single taste is an artistic and culinary failure.
The only positive thing I can say about the Sushi is that it didn't taste fishy.
If this place does, on some nights, reach an acceptable standard, then whoever is in charge of controlling the quality and consistency of the experience should be forced to find a new job.
Over priced and overated – This place does not have the food or service to math its price. The people are not very friendly. Could use better service.
The BEST!!! – Don't mind how small of a space your in. You wont even notice after you've ordered. The best sushi in Orlando by far.

Great coffee, great food, great staff! – I visit Grounds often and have gotten to know one of the owners and morning staff on a first name basis. Their coffee drinks are excellent and the lunches are also very good with menus changing every 6 weeks or so. They always have quiche, soup and chicken salad on croissants. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the quiche and chicken salad are the best that I've had in town. They also have sinful desserts and some healthy treats (gluten free cookies). Their sugar cookies are particularly good!
They have wireless so it's a good place to hang out or drive thru. If you have a doggie in your car, let them know because they have a treat stash!

Anyone's game at halftime, St. John's received a definitive boost from its star player to finish the game and Rutgers did not.
D'Angelo Harrison had a lights-out second half for the Red Storm and quickly turned a one-point halftime lead into double digits with an impressive array of jumpers. Harrison scored 15 second-half points on a 7-for-14 shooting night. Harrison finished with 20 to go along with a game-high 21 from Jakarr Sampson.
"I'm very disappointed in our lack of compete tonight and our lack of execution, especially on the defensive end," said head coach Mike Rice. "That's what I can control and I know we'll go back to work and gauge the fight in this team."
Where Harrison excelled down the stretch, the Scarlet Knights' 2012-13 scorer was silent.
Similarly to Madison Square Garden two weeks ago, St. John's took Elijah Carter out of the game. Carter was an offensive liability against the Red Storm in both games this year, shooting a combined 4-for-28 in two matchups.
Rice benched Carter for the final four minutes of the game. Carter refused to speak to the media in the locker room after the loss.
"He was just missing shots that he would normally make," said fellow sophomore Myles Mack. "… It was kind of strange [to see him on the bench] because he's normally in the game. Today just wasn't his night. It happens. I'm not blaming him or anything, but today just wasn't his day."
With the leading scorer off the mark, the rest of the roster failed to pick up the slack. Outscored by 11 points in the last 20 minutes, Mack was the only effective scorer with 17 on 6-of-16 shooting.
After back-to-back losses for the first time this season, the road does not get any easier for Rutgers (12-6, 3-4). The Scarlet Knights face Connecticut this weekend before traveling to Cincinnati and hosting Louisville.
"It's a big missed opportunity [tonight], but the good thing is we have 11 more games or whatever to get ourselves back on track, especially with a big opportunity coming up against UConn," said senior forward Austin Johnson. "We'll definitely rebound."

Parsing text in Haskell with Alex
by Mithrandir
Recently I remembered that I've started HaCoTeB as a project in which to test text lexing and parsing with Alex and Happy. Things didn't work so well and HaCoTeB died without a single Alex specification file written.
However, during this little free time I had this week, I tried again to parse a simple text file with Alex.
We are given an input file consisting of text and properly enclosed mark-ups like ** for bold text, // for italic text, — for stroked-out text and __ for underline text (each of them enclosing the text enriched with the format). For example,
//this should be in italic// should be an italic text.
In order to do this, we begin be specifying the regular expressions used to split the text into tokens (also known as lexing or scanning) and the actions associated with each expression. First, we define the special symbols, used as a mark-up.
00021 00022 -- put here all characters used to select format 00023 $formatspec = [\*\/_\-] 00024
Then we specify the expressions and their actions.
00027 00028 [^$formatspec]+ { takeText } 00029 $formatspec { takeText } -- for single chars (think a * b) 00030 \/{2} { flipFormat Italic } 00031 \*{2} { flipFormat Bold } 00032 _{2} { flipFormat Underline } 00033 \-{2} { flipFormat Strikeout } 00034
As you see in line 29, we need to handle single appearances of mark-up characters in a separate regular expression. Otherwise, text like "mark-up" or "a * b" will result in a scan error.
Before defining the action, let's look at how the task at hand was solved. Basically, we will gather as much text as possible without including any format specifier into a single value, constructed using takeText. When we encounter a format specifier we change a global state to inform the subsequent takeText call that the gathered string is enriched with a new format. Because that data is not defined anywhere in the Alex templates, we will have to implement it ourselves. To do that, we tell Alex that we want a monadic wrapper with user data
00018 00019 -- the monadUserState allows for a monadic parser with user data 00020 %wrapper "monadUserState" 00021
Then, we define the user data and the initial value for it (don't change the name of the following functions, they are called this way from the template)
00071 type AlexUserState = [Format] 00072 00073 alexInitUserState = [] 00074
The Format data is another defined type, its definition may be left as an exercise since it is not relevant here.
Also, although the wrapper is called monadUserState there are no functions defined there to do that. You'll have to implement them by hand for now, a mail was sent describing the problem on haskell-cafe, maybe it will be solved soon. (Also, this wrapper is not presented in the official documentation for Alex, I have found it while trying to solve other problems by looking at the templates).
00074 00075 getUserData :: Alex AlexUserState 00076 getUserData = Alex $ \s@AlexState{alex_ust=udata} -> Right (s, udata) 00077 00078 setUserData :: AlexUserState -> Alex () 00079 setUserData udata = Alex $ \s -> Right (s{alex_ust=udata}, ()) 00080
The last thing that you need to define is what should be done when the end of the file (EOF) is encountered. We will return Nothing, making all actions have return type of
Alex (Maybe Token) instead of simply
Alex Token.
00097 00098 {- 00099 Remember that this function must also return a token!! We have made it to 00100 return Nothing to enable you to forget about it. 00101 -} 00102 alexEOF :: Alex (Maybe Token) 00103 alexEOF = return Nothing 00104 } 00105
While this has the advantage that you can use only the good tokens in the Token data definition, it has the disadvantage that two layers of monads are present. Of course, this function can be implemented by each user.
In the end, we need something to start the whole parsing process. We do this via two functions: one to loop over the text returning it token by token and collecting the results into a list and another to start the whole computation.
00055 00056 run :: String -> Either String [Token] 00057 run content = runAlex content $ loop [] 00058 00059 loop end = do --alexMonadScan >>= \t -> loop end >>= \e -> return $ t : e 00060 tok <- alexMonadScan; 00061 case tok of 00062 Nothing -> return end 00063 Just t -> loop end >>= \e -> return $ t : e 00064
The end result looks like this:
[Text [Bold] "This is a bolded paragraph, every word here should be bold ",Text [Strikeout,Bold] "and this part should be stroked out",Text [Bold] " while ",Text [Italic,Bold] "this should be in italic",Text [Bold] " and ",Text [Underline,Bold] "this underlined",Text [Bold] ". ",Text [Italic,Strikeout,Underline,Bold] "This part should have all of the attributes",Text [Bold] "."]
However, this is not yet complete, I guess that no user would want to look at something like that. A conversion function is needed but that is not in the scope of this article. I'll return on this topic later.

Study: South Shore bays are polluted
(Page 3 of 4)
At the end of December, environmentalists released a 10-point plan for the plant that included installing monitors at the outfall pipe in Reynolds Channel, creating a public oversight committee and modernizing it to treat nitrogen. Citizens Campaign for the Environment, the group that moderated last week's forum, distributed a list of objectives to those who attended.
Organizations that supported the 10-point plan include members of the Western Bays Collaboration Working Group. One of those members is the Point Lookout Civic Association. Gerald Ottavino, co-chairman of the group's environmental committee, said that Hurricane Sandy revealed how vulnerable the county's sewage treatment infrastructure is. The nine-foot tidal surge that flooded Bay Park necessitated change at the plant, Ottavino said, adding that meeting the 10 objectives would mean rebuilding and modernizing the facility.
"Effectuating them will serve to reverse the degradation currently imperiling our Western Bays and restore them to clean and healthful status critical for saving Nassau County's threatened South Shore," he said.
Elected officials in the Western Bays Collaboration Working Group agreed that action must be taken, with one, County Legislator David Denenberg, a Democrat from Merrick, suggesting that the county follow through with projects that have already been funded. Denenberg said he suspected that water quality would be worst near the outfall pipes of sewage treatment plants like Bay Park, which processes about 40 percent of the county's sewage. The information presented by scientists last week, he said, should result in tighter federal and state regulations for waste dischargers.

Abstract: Progression through mitosis depends on a large number of protein complexes that regulate the major structural and physiological changes necessary for faithful chromosome segregation. Most, if not all, of the mitotic processes are regulated by a set of mitotic protein kinases that control protein activity by phosphorylation. Although many mitotic phosphorylation events have been identified in proteome-scale mass spectrometry studies, information on how these phosphorylation sites are distributed within mitotic protein complexes and which kinases generate these phosphorylation sites is largely lacking. We used systematic protein-affinity purification combined with mass spectrometry to identify 1818 phosphorylation sites in more than 100 mitotic protein complexes. In many complexes, the phosphorylation sites were concentrated on a few subunits, suggesting that these subunits serve as "switchboards" to relay the kinase-regulatory signals within the complexes. Consequent bioinformatic analyses identified potential kinase-substrate relationships for most of these sites. In a subsequent in-depth analysis of key mitotic regulatory complexes with the Aurora kinase B (AURKB) inhibitor Hesperadin and a new Polo-like kinase (PLK1) inhibitor, BI 4834, we determined the kinase dependency for 172 phosphorylation sites on 41 proteins. Combination of the results of the cellular studies with Scansite motif prediction enabled us to identify 14 sites on six proteins as direct candidate substrates of AURKB or PLK1.

Seasonal Snowflake Rectangle Invitations I am so pleased with the way our invitations turned out. The detail is outstanding, and the card stock is sturdy and of high quality. The level of personalization is great; I was able to customize colors, fonts and font sizes to exactly how I wanted.
Exactly what I was looking for!
Winter Frost Rectangle Invitations This invitation was perfect for my winter wedding. I could customize it to get the colors and wording exactly how I wanted it. Getting samples ahead of time was extremely nice as well to be able to know just what I was getting.
Love these!
Seasonal Snowflake Rectangle Invitations These are absolutely beautiful in person! I customized these with a deep purple background and pale yellow snowflakes, and they are absolutely gorgeous! I wanted custom invitations that weren't overly expensive *cough*Wedding Paper Divas*cough* and these are it! I would recommend these to anyone with a winter wedding who doesn't want anything too over the top.
Terrific Winter Wedding Option!
Tender Mountain Rectangle Invitations We are having a winter wedding, and while there are a lot of decoration ideas, I ran into a problem finding an invitation we liked. Most companies only offer 1 or 2 winter designs and they are glittery and primarily snowflakes. We wanted something a little more sophisticated in design. I loved Magnet Street the second I saw all of their categories and themes. This invitation ended up perfect for us because we're getting married at Bear Mountain State Park. The quiet winter mountain theme works beautifully. My fiance is a web developer and graphic designer. We had planned on him making the stationary for the wedding because of our high standards. However, we ended up renovating and selling our house with a cross country move, so that was no longer an option. These totally met both of our expectations as the next best option of him designing our own. I love that you are able to personalize and customize every aspect of the invitation. Other companies I had looked at were not as generous. You might be able to choose from 1 or 2 color options, or change a font, but these we were able to tweak and make our very own. We went back and forth with the design team, who were great and helpful the whole way. I was so scared of annoying them with our many edits, but in the end I am so happy with what we received. The proofs come in high resolution, but in real life they look even better. It's really great quality paper and the ink and designs are flawless and very professional looking. I'm so happy I really took the time to be picky about my invitations, otherwise I would have never found Magnet Street or personalized them to be just for our wedding and our day.
Love the winter scene
Winter Wonderland Rectangle Invitations I like the color contrast on the invite better than on the save the date magnet.

Solidarity for missing environmental activist Miguel Ángel
Friends of the Earth International expresses its alarm and distress at the disappearance of Miguel Ángel Pabón Pabón, leader of the social movement for the defense of the Sogamoso River in Colombia.
Miguel Ángel was last seen on October 31 2012. The environmental federation Friends of the Earth International, composed of environmental groups from 76 countries, learned of his disappearance during their Biennial General Assembly in El Salvador.
Please take part in our action in solidarity with Friends of the Earth Colombia and Miguel Ángel Pabón Pabón!
Miguel Ángel, a 36 years old father of two girls, is a dedicated and notable environmentalist, defender of the River Sogamoso and of the fisherfolk and peasant communities in the area. He created the Social Movement for the Defense of the Sogamoso River, together with other leaders of the region in 2008, which has contributed to building awareness among the communities about the terrible consequences of local hydro-electrical projects. He has also participated in demonstrations against the company ISAGEN, denouncing the negative social and environmental consequences that have hurt fisherfolk and peasant communities, and the terrible labour conditions of the workers that are building the hydro project.
In 2011, he was instrumental in the creation of the Columbian Movement in Defense of the Territory and Affected People by Dams "Ríos Vivos".
Since his disappearance, members of the settlements, peasants and fisherfolk of the region who closely know Miguel, have organized groups (brigades) to search for him in the surrounding areas, including Municipalities of Sabana de Torres, San Vicente, Betulia and Barrancabermeja.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that such a tragedy has happened to the members and leaders who defend the rights of communities in the region. The Observatorio de Paz Integral reported that 11 people have already disappeared in 2012, 6 of whom were subsequently found dead. Several social leaders have been assassinated in the region of the Sogamoso River since 2009. These crimes have been committed with total impunity, with no consequences for the perpetrators.
Friends of the Earth International requests that the Colombian authorities - particularly the Magdalena Medio Police, the National Attorney General, the Ombudspeople, the Municipality of San Vicente, the Regional Attorney, and other entities of Public control - to do everything in their extensive powers to prevent a major tragedy, and to make sure that Miguel Ángel Pabón Pabón is found and returned to his home in good health.
San Salvador, November 9 2012.
Please take part in our action in solidarity with Friends of the Earth Colombia and Miguel Ángel Pabón Pabón!

November 10: A significant day for activists working against mining, oil and gas
Friends of the Earth International commemorates Ken Saro-Wiwa's death on November 10 as a day of solidarity with victims of mining, oil and gas activities around the world and a celebration of all the activists who continue to resist.
Seventeen years ago, environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others were executed under the Abacha dictatorship in Nigeria.
It was widely alleged that oil giant Shell interfered in the trial that led to his death sentence. Shell has been drilling in Nigeria for 50 years and its operations in the Niger Delta continue to have massively negative impacts on the population there.
Friends of the Earth International commemorates Ken Saro-Wiwa's death on November 10 as a day of solidarity with victims of mining, oil and gas activities and a celebration of the activists who continue to resist.
Since the release of the 2011 report 'Memory, truth and justice for heroes' (1) the death toll and level of persecution of community leaders defending their territories against abuses by the extractive industries has continued unabated. (2)
The destruction of communities and ecosystems caused by extractive industries has generated a global resistance movement struggling for justice and the defense of life, land, resources, biodiversity, livelihoods and cultures.
Extractive industries have caused some of the world's worst environmental disasters and displaced tens of thousands of local people from their traditional homelands. Abuses perpetrated by the extractive industries have cost the lives of many environmental advocates and communities.
This year Friends of the Earth International marks this anniversary during its biennial general assembly in El Salvador in November by reflecting on its work with environmental defenders across the globe.
Fifteen international delegates will visit communities negatively affected by mining in Guatemala and El Salvador as part of a solidarity tour following the general assembly, from 13-20 November. (3)
Friends of the Earth International reiterates its support for communities resisting destructive extractive projects, in their struggles against social injustices, and in bringing about environmental and economic justice.
On 11 October 2012, Friends of the Earth and four Nigerians brought Dutch oil giant Shell to court in The Hague for damage caused in Nigeria; a milestone in the decades of struggle of the people of the Niger Delta and a fitting testament to the struggle of Ken Saro-Wiwa. (4)

Friends of the Earth International is proud to announce Jagoda Munić as our new chairperson
Friends of the Earth International is proud to announce that Jagoda Munić from Croatia has been elected as our new chairperson, effective November 15, 2012.
Jagoda has extensive experience in environmental research, activism and conservation. She joined Friends of the Earth Croatia as a volunteer in 1997 and was president of the group from 2001 to 2007. She has degrees in biology; library and information sciences; and pollution and environmental control. She has led successful biodiversity research projects and public advocacy campaigns, including a campaign on Genetically Modified (GM) crops, which resulted in Croatia adopting one of the strictest GM laws in the world. Jagoda has served as FoEI's Treasurer on the executive committee since 2004.
Outgoing chairperson Nnimmo Bassey said, "Jagoda's commitment and experience will inspire the wider Friends of the Earth federation. Her appointment gives Friends of the Earth International a charismatic and talented new chair."
Friends of the Earth International is deeply grateful to Nnimmo Bassey for his visionary and invaluable leadership. Nnimmo has demonstrated incredible dedication and passion for his work and the work of Friends of the Earth International.
Every two years, Friends of the Earth International's Biennial General Meeting elects FoEI's Executive Committee.

Day 5: Sharapova may have found her answer; Venus left searching for hers
Five thoughts from Day 5 of the Australian Open …
1. Maria Sharapova sends a warning shot: She may have completed the career Grand Slam and finished No. 2 in 2012, but somehow Sharapova became the woman on the outside looking in heading into the Australian Open. Blame the beatdowns she took from the other two members of the WTA's Big Three, Victoria Azarenka (6-3, 6-0 in last year's Australian Open final) and Serena Williams (6-0, 6-1 at the London Olympics, among others), which laid bare her glaring weaknesses.
She couldn't match Williams' power and movement. She couldn't hit through Azarenka's consistency. Her serve was a liability. She wanted those head-to-head victories so badly that she flat-out crumbled. Until Sharapova can notch big wins over either player (2-10 vs. Williams all time, 3-6 vs. Azarenka since 2010), she'll always be considered third best.
Sure, she dominated her first two rounds in Melbourne, winning both matches 6-0, 6-0. Big whoop. We know Sharapova can trample unseeded players. The question was how she'd react against a formidable opponent. Like Venus Williams on Friday.
Despite the justified hype, this one turned out to be a complete dud. Sharapova rolled 6-1, 6-3 with a combination of clutch serving, aggressive hitting and consistent returning.
"Despite what she's ranked or seeded, it doesn't matter when you go out on the court," Sharapova said. "She's been there. She's experienced enough to know no matter if you're playing the third round, the quarters, or the final, you have to be ready. I certainly was. Since the draw came out, I was really looking forward to that matchup."
She ate up Venus' serve all night. Sharapova has clearly worked on her return, an important development if she hopes to rewrite her rivalries with Serena and Azarenka. Last year, Sharapova's returns were either completely useless against Serena's serve or, as they were against Azarenka, unreliable. On Friday, her takeback was noticeably short, and she handled Venus' wide serve to her forehand remarkably well, cutting off the angle and redirecting for winners. On match point, Sharapova let out a roaring celebration — five fist pumps — that made you check your draw sheet to make sure this was just the third round. She wanted this one.
"I was just really pumped," she said. "Why shouldn't I be?"
Sharapova played one of the finest matches she's played in years, recalling her form here in 2008 when she won it all without dropping a set. That Sharapova was vintage, one we haven't seen since thanks largely to a shoulder injury. She may not be able to solely serve her way to titles anymore, but this new return of serve she's working on? That might just be the answer.
2. Venus gets a reality check: Even with tempered expectations, this was an unexpected result. Venus had been on-song since last fall when she finished the season with a minor title in Luxembourg, and she cruised into the third round having dropped a mere seven games. So, yeah, I didn't see a rout coming. Sharapova neutralized Venus' biggest weapon, her first serve, and had no problems staying in the rally with her off the ground. The only surge from Venus came late in the second set when she was finally able to get to the net to finish points. Too little, too late.
This is where the hard reality begins to set in. Venus, 32, will continue to win matches. That's a credit to her work ethic, natural talent and experience. She's learned to manage her autoimmune disease and her schedule to put herself in positions to win. But her game, as powerful as it is, has been passed. Venus is at her best when she's willing to get to the net as much as possible, hence five of her seven major titles at Wimbledon. If she has any chance to be a relevant competitor on tour, Venus has to commit to more aggressive net play. It will shorten points and matches, help her conserve energy and plays right into her skills. But the more and more I see her trying to go baseline to baseline against top players, the more I'm left wondering "What's the point in all this?"
3. No American men standing: This post-Andy Roddick world is looking downright post-Apocalyptic. Sam Querrey's 7-6 (6), 7-5, 6-4 loss to Stanislas Wawrinka means that there will be no American men in the fourth round for the second straight year.
The top-ranked American, John Isner, pulled out of the Australian Open with a knee injury two weeks ago. Mardy Fish, who had heart surgery last May, withdrew two months ago and hasn't played since the U.S. Open. Brian Baker tore his meniscus in the second round, and Donald Young crashed out in qualifying. Unlike the U.S. women, there are no teens to get excited about, either.
4. South African rising: Hats off to Kevin Anderson, the University of Illinois product who took out No. 22 Fernando Verdasco 4-6, 6-3, 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2 to become the only man outside the top 16 to reach the round of 16. The big-serving South African is into the fourth round of a Slam for the first time in his career, where he'll play No. 5 Tomas Berdych. Last time I heard, Anderson, whose wife, Kelsey, is American, was in the process of securing U.S. citizenship. Hey, we'll beef up our ranks however we can.
5. Novak Djokovic keeps rolling: The two-time defending champion made big headlines Friday, but only after he swept No. 31 Radek Stepanek 6-4, 6-3, 7-5. First, he ventured to the TV booth to teach Jim Courier how to pronounce his name. Then, in his press conference, Djokovic slammed Lance Armstrong. On the court, Djokovic hasn't dropped a set, running his Australian Open winning streak to 17 matches.

Putting together a list of the Top 50 Strategy games is like grabbing a handful of pins and seeing which one hurts the most. Like every pin that pricks, every game involves some form of strategy. Sure, we're a discerning bunch--not to mention absolute suckers for punishment--so we decided to stick our hands in anyway to see what we'd come out with.
Among you, there will be doubters, nay-sayers and the like. But we have faith that this is the creme de la creme of the strategy games currently available. To make it through this list, we recommend that you keep your mouse hand ready, limber up those hotkey fingers, and prepare for total war. Because frankly, that's what most of these titles are about.
And after all, if you disagree with us you can always let us know in the comments section. So let's not waste time gathering resources. It's time to jump into action.

STEUBENVILLE - The Community Reinvestment Council recertified a lengthy list of properties for tax abatements for 2013 during the annual meeting Wednesday.
"The tax abatement program is an incentive for property owners to make substantial improvements to their properties and see a reduction in their property tax for a specified period of time," explained Urban Projects Director Chris Petrossi.
"The program is available for property owners in the downtown area, hilltop neighborhoods as well as Lincoln Avenue and Lincoln Heights," Petrossi said.
"There are a few properties that we need to keep an eye on for the next several years. But I recommend all of the properties be approved," noted Petrossi.
CRC member Billy Petrella, an employee of the Tri-State Financial Services, abstained from voting on the abatement for the Tri-State Financial property because he is associated with the business.
In other business during the brief meeting, the board re-elected Charles Joyce as chairman and Tom Timmons as vice chairman.
In attendance for the annual meeting were Joyce, Timmons, Petrella, Richard Beal and Michael Feist.
First Ward Councilman Gerald DiLoreto also attended the meeting.

Stop-painting.com introduces new industrial floor marking tapes
Superior Mark X's and T's first to feature patent-pending beveled edges that maximize durability.
Stop-painting.com adds two more floor marking solutions to their Superior Mark brand industrial floor marking line, the Superior Mark X Markers and T Markers. These new warehouse floor tapes feature Superior Mark's patent-pending design with beveled edges and recessed adhesive to maximize durability. These new floor markers create a more durable and cost effective way to visually organize the industrial floors of factories and warehouses.
Although similarly shaped vinyl floor tapes have been on the market for years, Stop-painting.com's New X and T shaped floor markers incorporate design features that maximizes durability. Durability is of paramount importance considering the amount of heavy traffic that takes place in the facilities in where these markers are utilized.
"These are the first T-Markers and X-Markers made with a beveled edge and recessed adhesive system," said Superior Mark creator Cliff Lowe. "We are excited about the difference in durability this will make as compared to traditional floor markers."
After experimenting with various angles of Superior Mark's edge, he developed an edge that is scientifically proven to withstand more force than any other angle. In addition, the pressure sensitive adhesive is recessed to just behind the beveled edge. So when a forklift pushing a pallet exerts force against Superior Mark tape, the pallet will ride up and over the beveled edge, rather than dislodging the floor tape.
The expansive floors of factories and warehouses are a challenge to organize, yet an effective method of organization is critical to efficiency and workplace safety. While many facilities attempt to use paint to mark the floors, painting requires shut down time and is difficult to maintain. Most industrial floors bear the burden of heavy forklift traffic, which can destroy painted lines in a matter of minutes. These facilities operate around the clock, and shutting down to repaint is a significant cost.
Inside industrial facilities, there is a frequent need for creating box shapes on the floor, whether it be to create work cells, pallet alignment systems, forklift parking areas, or other clearly delineated rectangular spaces. Usually rectangles are marked with solid lines of paint or a thin grade of vinyl tape. These solid lines undergo heavy traffic as forklifts and heavy machinery pass over them, pushing pallets or dragging other materials, which quickly damage the lines beyond recognition. Retouching the box with paint requires a costly shut down, and thin vinyl tape requires labor intensive scraping to remove completely. The most effective way of marking these spaces is therefore not with solid lines, but rather by using a combination of markers. L's, T's, X's, and Dots can be combined to delineate spaces for pallets or equipment. This allows plenty of unmarked space between the markers to accommodate the traffic. The floor marking will still be highly visible and create the safer organized workspace that is desired.
Using floor markers requires less material than marking solid lines, and is therefore more cost effective. Floor markers are also much easier to maintain than solid lines, because if one marker is damaged, it can be individually replaced.

Great Food, Service, Atmosphere and Value – My wife and I have been to this establishment a number of times and it has become our favorite take-out place during the week. The food is always consistent, staff is friendly and is worth the price. We enjoy dining in once in a while, but since it's so close and convenient, take out is always preferred.
Definitely recommend the tom ka soup or egg rolls appetizer, green curry, pad prik khing is spicy and sooo yummy! Pad ma kuer is fantastic as is the spicy som tum salad.
Best overall Thai restaurant in San Francisco – I have been to dozens of Thai restaurants in my life and I LOVE Thai food, and on that note i can easily say that this is one of the best both as far as food and atmosphere go, but what stands out the most is that this restaurant has heart! Once you go there you will be sucked into the environment and the people, they are all very kind, they really do care about every customer and they will make sure you have a great time when you go. I make it a point to stop there at least once every time I'm in San Francisco whether it's to take a friend there, have a nice, quiet meal, or just sit down and have a nice beer and some hot tea.
I highly recommend this place on all accounts. TRY IT, you wont regret it ; )
Editorial Review – Thai restaurant in the Sunset district serves traditional and specialty Thai dishes and stays open 'til 1 am.
Great Authentic Food, Good Prices, Lovely Service – One of the best places in the city for Pad See Ew. I have tired a bunch and this one is one of the closest to my favorite way that they do it in Thailand! Green curry is delish too. As is their pork and garlic and basil. Meat was cooked flavorfully and tenderly. Hard to find this dish well prepared at other Thai restaurants. The decor inside is also beautiful and the servers have always been very nice and attentive. I have come to find that it is hard to find good Thai food in SF that makes it like they do in the home-land. I recommend this place for price, taste, authenticity and service.
great food and great atmosphere – I love their appetizer combo (spring rolls, shrimp in a blanket, curry puffs) and their cocount soup. It's very quiet and the waiters are very courteous. No wait whatsoever.
Good Food - Fun Atmoshpere – Great place to eat out on the Avenues. The food is great, the music is very good, and the service is warm and friendly. There is no yelling from the staff. The new decor is bright, lively, and upbeat. Reminds me of the lively colors of Thailand. But it is about the food. The food is very good and if you don't find what you are looking for on one page of the menu just turn the page. AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO ENJOY REAL THAI FOOD!!!
excellent choice for Thai – The food here cannot be matched. I love the appetizers, especially the Thai style buffalo wings and the heavenly prawns. I would recommend the fried pan noodle with gravy for a main course. Portions are generous, waiters are courteous, and there is almost no wait after ordering.
Good Food! But UGLY Deco. – If you go to thier website, it shows pictures of what it used to like. It was nice, unassuming and cozy. But now, it is absolutely horrible. Flesh colored walls, with poorly painted stripes of purple and pink. And the lighting makes dinner as romantic as eating at the DMV.
Too bad, because the food is Very Good! Definitely better to order take out or delivery!
Thai Dinning done right. – Great selection from central Thai and Northeastern dishes. Flavors and hot to suit all.
Every one in the restaarant was enjoying themelves from couples, famlies and large groups. And you could hear your self talk.
Service as you find in Thailand. "With a Smile!"
Pleasant Thai music in the backgroud.
Bathrooms sapcious and clean.
excellent lunch – This is the place for a great thai-style lunch. I suggest the golden chicken over rice to fill you up, or a bowl of beef noodles if you're desiring some soup. Whatever the choice, Thai spice made me a customer for life with their excellent service and peaceful atmosphere. At last, a place where I can eat lunch and read the paper without the blaring of cheap muzak to disturb me in the background
